That's a lot of baggage, excuse the pun..
Almost 4,200 bags are currently laying unclaimed at Dublin Airport.
Baggage piled up in Dublin Airport's terminal has become a more common sight for travellers returning home from abroad.
The Oireachtas transport committee was told today as many as 250 bags a day are being lost.
It comes ahead of a busy August Bank Holiday weekend, as 400,000 passengers are expected at terminals.
Soooo six days later, my bag still not in my possession.
According to @AerLingus, bag now arrived in Dublin after being stuck at @LondonHeathrow for 5 days.
Seeing the number of unclaimed bags in Dublin when I landed on Monday is not making me confident 🙄 pic.twitter.com/rc0yUvQgg5— ✨ Michelle "MishManners" Duke 🍩 (@MishManners) July 23, 2022
Dublin Airport says this weekend could be one of the busiest of the year.
The defence forces are on standby to help out if needed.
A representative for the Dublin Airport Authority doesn't expect the army to be deployed this weekend.
It comes as Aer Lingus has come under fire for flight cancellations in recent weeks.
Aer Lingus has made no guarantees that there won't be more flights cancelled this weekend.
